Arty Girlz Sketch Challenge

It's been ages since I completed a sketch challenge so this was great fun. I've used five different shades of core-dinations card stock, Stampin up Scallop and circular punches and stamp and cuttlebug embossed the top layer.

Not sure if it's allowed ! but I would like to pass the award back to Sharon http://sharon-ward.blogspot.com/ as I love checking out her ATC's for Leonie's challenges.

MissyK http://littlecraftingmiss.blogspot.com/ as I always enjoy her ATCs and Inchies.

Carole Claxton http://www.needmoretimetocraft.blogspot.com/ is my Stampin Up hero and I find endless inspiration from her blog and contributions on http://www.inlovewithstamping.com/

I had the great fortune to meet Kirsty Wiseman http://limegreenbogiegirl.blogspot.com/ and Claire Curd, unfortunatley I don't knew if Claire has a blog, at a Design Objectives roadshow in May and found them both truly inspiring, both as craft designers and as people. I guess the two things are the same, as crafting seemed to be in their blood.

and last but no means least, the one and only Leonie Pujol http://www.leoniepujol.blogspot.com/ The reason I started blogging was to take part in Leonie's challenges and I would like to thank her for the time she puts in, as I know she has a busy life and I have meet some great people because of the challenges.

Decoupage Delights - Leonie's ATC Challenge

A really quick one this week, no imagination I'm afraid and no decapitation of the fairie, sorry Leonie ! huge THANK YOU to Sharon for nominating me for an award, such an honour. I'll have to get a bit more organised and allow a little more time to post over the weekend so I can forward the award. If you look really closely at the bottom of the penultimate page of the latest issue of Creativity from DO Craft (a magnifiying glass will be useful !) you can spot two of my Basic Grey cards. If I make the cut I might end up with six, yes six, full pages in the next issue!! fingers crossed.
